Real PenFed offer?

Noticed that i'm getting a piece of mail from PenFed today. Can't tell if it's marketing or a direct offer, since a date is listed.

In my opinion I would say it is definitely an approval offer with an invitation.  Good Luck if you decide to apply.  Keep us posted on your status!

I received a letter written to me in my name, offering $100 statement credit on $1500 spend in 90 days and 0% on BT's for 12mo. 

 

On the flip side, it just looks like marketing. What do you think? What significance is there to applying on the link www.penfed.org/goldita versus cold applying?

Good ole marketing OP.  The direct link is simply for tracking marketing traffic response based on the invite.  The results won't be any different with a cold application or the link they provided with the invite.  

 

Of noteworthy, PenFed has been known to send pre-approved invitations (not just the invitations to apply) for members and non-members, and those are 50/50 at best, unless profile and the force is strong 👻.

My husband received the exact offer thru mail. I applied and he was instant approval. He spend $1500 before the 90 days and within a week received his $100 statement credit. This would be the Penfed Gold . So it all depends on your credit profile.  Good luck if you decide to apply and keep us posted!

I recieved the same letter today. But I had just applied for the PCR card hours before I recieved the letter. I was approved for the PCR card, so I guess it means they have you in mind.
